We have some very exciting news! The Cantering Caterer has a new executive chef! Scott Penney has taken the reigns of our kitchens. Scott, an ex-marine, comes to us with worldwide experience. He has cooked at, managed, and owned several operations across North America.

Scott has a degree from The French Culinary Institute in New York and was named “Best in Class” by Gourmet Magazine, 1999. Oh, and he is the nicest guy catering and planning events in the tri-state area! All day long, Scott is peppered with questions… Can we grill a potato? What is the perfect hors d’oeuvre to accompany this menu? I need yellow food???!!! He is always calm and he always has an answer! Working with us for two weeks now, I am a HUGE fan. Every day, our staff is fed a fantastic meal of leftovers that would rate among the finest I have eaten.

We are honored and pleased to work with Scott as our already fantastic food just got better!

Also, we had an amazing weekend! We catered and designed an elegant 5 course wedding in Westport, an unbelievable wedding for a star of a VERY popular television show, a fantastic reception on a magnificent farm, a clambake on the beach, a gala fundraiser for the Connecticut Gay Men’s Chorus, a small intimate dinner at an estate in Southport, and a graduation party for the entire class of the Fairfield Country Day School – at the home of one of our favorite clients. Wow! What a week! This week is just as good….. Lots more to come!
